Many Children Undemourished Parents Are Often Found Responsible. Washington, D. C., May 29 (®— (ation wide researches by the United ates Children's Bureau have con- |vinced government experts that rly one-third of the children in the country are undernourished. They also point to parental ignor- |ance or lack of control over children |as the underlying cause of mal- nutrition. Although it is impossible to fix the exact number of such cases, the Lureau reports a number of typical |investigations are available, and 1y it is probably safe to conclude [that from one-fourth to one-third of the children in the United States are definitely malnourished, and that the number of children of really |superior nutrition is small. Of New York City’s million chil- dren, the report continues, more |than 215,000 were found to be dis- tinctly below the normal or safe level, and the results of numerous |studies made in different parts of {the country since 1918 show similar and even more serious situations. In rural Kentucky, for example, 40 per |cent of the children were classed by |the examining physician as poor and |35 per cent &3 only fair. Malnutrition not only causes “stunted growth, anemia, nervous in- | stability, and Clminished energy but |ipereased suscuptibility to disease |and lack ot resistance to it,” the re- |port states. A large proportion of | wortality among children, the report |udds, “is due directly or indirectly |to faulty nutrition. ~ Scarlet fever, |diphtheria, mecasels, pneumonia, tu- |berculosis and intestinal ~ diseases |claim miost of their victims from |these who are too poorly nourished [to resist them. “The relaticn between malnutri- |tion and tubercuiosis may be an ac- |tive cause of malnutrition, but a malnourished body is the best soil for tuberculosis.” The most common cause of mal- tutrition found by the bureau is an insufficient supply of the proper protcin and mineral supplying foods, such as vegetables, fruits, whole cercals, cggs and milk. Irregular or too hurricd meals, insufficient rest or cxercise adenoids, and unhealthy teeth or tonsils arc other contribut- |ing factor But the underlying cause of all these, the roport concludes, is par- |ental ignorance or lack of control {over the children. “Many children are improperly Ifed,” the report states, ‘'because their parents do not know what are {the proper foods for children nor how to spend their money to get the know that children have regular, unhurried inclnding especially a good {hreakfast, and because they do not | know that the habit of drinking tea land coffee and the habit of eating | indiscriminately between meals are | worse for children than for adults The problem of malnutrition in ehildren will not be solved until | parents have some fundamental in- struction in physical care, and in |the essentials of child management and training.

If America is to have real prohi- bition, it is up to women to enforce the laws, in the opinion of Mrs. Henry W. Peabody, general chair- man of the Woman's National Com- mitte for Law Enforcement. Mrs, Peabody pointed out that since Biblical days, progressive wom- en of the past have recognized their duty as law-enforcers. “Deborah is the first recorded law enforcement leader,” she said. “De- borah doubtless would have pre- ferred to sit under her palm tree and { express her opinion on various ques- tions. It was necessary, however, to persuade a timid ruler to go out and cave his country. She finally had to £o with him and sce that he did it. “\Woman's home training stecls her to the arduous tasks entailed in enforcing any laws. Her trainied and keeps the children under home law.

That has been the accepted home-rule in American life. Why not put it into effect in a democracy where men are making a dismal failure? “The best law enforcement official in Washington today is a woman, Mabel Willebrand, assistant attorney general. “¥rom now until election day, pa- | triotic women are needed to hold candidates to their plain duty of en- | forcing the law.” Fash—io-nflplaque An unusual black-and-white skull cap is made entirely of silk leaves, the health fild than any |a few dipping down over the ear on | the black side. “Little Borah™ Confidante Of Many BY ALLENE SUMNER (Staff Writer for The Herald and NEA Service) Washington, D. C. May 29. Revelations have been made in the not so far distant past of toothpicks on the White House table. Little mention has ever been made of a cookie jar in the White House/ pantry. But if Senator William E. Borah of Idaho should be our next presi- dent, the first and foremost job of the new First Lady would be to see that a White House cookie crock was well filled with sugary cinna- mony, scrunchy, raisin-topped cook- ies into which the president could dip the presidential paw at frequent intervals. “For,” as golden-headed Mvs. Borah confided, “the just can’'t function without cookie jar.” Nor would the cookie jar end the First Lady's duties. There's the little matter o fonion soup, too. The senator, confides Mrs. Borah, is still searching for the perfect onion soup. He insists that he never gets it at home. little senator his Looks for Recipes Wherever popular Mrs. Borah goes she is constantly on the look- out for onion soup. She thought she had found it'when in Atlantic City a few weeks ago, and inter- viewed the hotel chef himself for the reclpe. She special-delivered the recipe back o her cook in Washington, and thought she had earned her wifely laurels. ( “But when T got home the senator | said it wasn't quite right, either.” | she moaned. “I don't know what he wants—whether it's more cheese or pepper or what—but it'll be a red star day when he admits his onion soup is made right.” | They call the Borahs in Washing- ton ig Bill” and “Little Borah,” | for the possible First Lady wears| 14 clothes, child size shoes and| comes just about to the big senator’s | breast pocket. | They say that “Little Borah”| winds him around her little finger, | but she makes no boasts of her| prowess. However, it is noted that | the senator still rides the street cars, though he once permitted auto salesmen to take him to lunch. | “Little Borah” said he needed his horseback riding and walk from the | street car more than an auto. | The Borah apartment blooms like | an exotic flower on the top floor of an old-fashioned red brick apart- ment house. A green and scarlet | macaw perches on a fan-backed Chinese chair in which “Little Borah” sits like a dainty bit of Chinese porcelain.
